- Brother Green
Oh Brother Green, please come to me
For I am shot and bleeding
Dear brother, stay, and put me away
And write my love a letter
Tell her I know she's prayed for me
And now her prayers are answered
That I might be prepared to die
- I Am Going to The West
In this fair land, I'll stay no more
Here labor is in vain
I'll seek the mountains far away
And leave the fertile plain
Where waves of grass in oceans roll
Into infinity
I stand ready on the shore
- La Fontaine
Au borde d'une fontaine je me suis reposée
Je me suis reposée au bord d'une fontaine
Au bord d'une je me suis reposée
Et l'eau était si claire que je me suis baignée
Et l'eau était si clair que je me suis baignée
Je me suis baignée et l'eau était si claire
L'eau était si claire que je me suis baignée
- Shady Grove
Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't have the one I love
I won't have none at all
Chorus:
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
- Sweet Betsy from Pike
Have you heard tell of sweet Betsy from Pike
She cross the wide prairie with her lover, Ike
With two yoke of Oxen, a big yellow dog,
A tall Shanghai rooster and one spotted hog
One evening quite early they camped on the Platte
'Twas nearby the road on a green, shady flat
Betsy, sore-footed, lay down to repose
- The Blessing
Soiridh leibh 'us oidhche mhath leibh
Oidhche mhath leibh, beannachd leibh
Guidheam slàinte ghnàth bhi mar ruibh
Oidhche mhath leibh, beannachd leibh
Mathair uisge 'n tobair fhìoruisg'
Cainnt ar sinnsir brigh na loinn;
'S faochadh tlàth o ànradh m'inntinn,
- The Water Is Wide
The water is wide. I cannot get o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
I leaned my back up against an oak
I thought it was a trusty tree
but first it swayed and then it broke
